I used his services for my restaurant, and not only was he incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but he also made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Spencer explained everything in plain language, always took the time to answer my questions, and handled every detail with care. What I really appreciate is that he's honest and fair with his billing -- he won't overcharge you for work he doesn't do, which is rare to find in this field. If you need an attorney who is sharp, approachable, and truly has your best interests at heart, Spencer is the one. I'll definitely be using him again in the future!

First of all, do NOT go family court without a lawyer. We have just started the process here, yet I…read morehave more than enough to rate Katie. I would have been absolutely lost without Katie's guidance. Her job is to inform you, advise you, and to guide you through the court proceedings. I'm telling you, what I thought was important to tell the judge, really wasn't that important. This is a very personal process and a personal ordeal and she understands that, and then keeps you on track. Will repeat again, do NOT go to family court without a lawyer. I shopped around for legal representation before finding Katie via recommendation by another very respected attorney. She is the truth! She kept me focused, kept me on topic, and kept reminding me of what was important during the particular phase of the mediation or court arguments that we were in. I'll admit that I balked at calling her at first because of a couple of negative reviews on here, but I am so glad I did. Katie knows her stuff. Do your part and she will guide you on the rest. As a side note, there are no inexpensive attorneys. Although cost was definitely not the most important thing on my list (getting my daughter back was #1, duh), Katie was the least expensive attorney that I received a quote from. Did I mention that she knows her stuff? I am beyond thankful for her and her work and it's only been a few weeks and 1 session of court. If you care about your kids and just don't know where to start, give her law firm a call. Wish I could give more stars.

WARNING: BAIT-AND-SWITCH SCAM. She lures you in with…read morediscounts and false promises, making you feel like her absolute top priority just to get you to sign the contract. The moment the paperwork is finalized and she has your signature, everything changes. You are instantly neglected, ignored, and left feeling completely scammed. Do not fall for her once she has your commitment, you will be cast aside. Professional services were hired based on a personal recommendation, but the experience was deeply unsatisfying. There were significant issues regarding the handling of funds from a divorce settlement. Communication was inconsistent; there were claims that I could not be reached despite my availability, which led to significant delays.The management of the legal team appeared disorganized, with errors.. Upon reviewing the case history, it seemed that the process was unnecessarily prolonged, resulting in higher fees. Attempts to resolve these issues directly were met with temporary offers of free services followed by a sudden no of all contact. Caution is advised when considering this professional for legal matters.

Kristi Barnard represented my husband in our custody and visitation case in 2016, and we will…read morealways be grateful for everything she did for our family. She was knowledgeable, honest, responsive, and made a very stressful process much easier to navigate. It was clear she was well respected in the courtroom, and her confidence and skill gave my husband peace of mind every step of the way.

I have recommended Kristi to friends and family over the years, and I would not hesitate to hire her again. If you need a family law attorney who genuinely cares about her clients and knows how to advocate for them, I highly recommend Kristi.

My family and I had an experience with this law firm during the administration of my aunt's…read moreCalifornia probate estate. The estate contained limited assets. According to probate filings, the executor received nearly $75,000 in compensation and reimbursements, and the attorneys received more than $16,000 in legal fees. Based on our understanding of the will, several beneficiaries did not receive property or distributions that they believed were contemplated, and no one received any amount as much as the executor for assets less than $325,000, some assets were never addressed at all ii the final accounting, where the family had to purchase the last legal filings themselves. One concern relates to notice and transparency during the administration of the estate. Following service of the Inventory and Appraisal in April 2025, additional filings were made with the court through November 2025. It is our understanding that only one beneficiary signed a Waiver of Notice of Proposed Action in April 2023, while other beneficiaries did not waive notice. Subsequent filings after April 2025, including the final accounting and distribution documents, were not served on all beneficiaries, including matters involving compensation. If accurate, this raises questions about whether all interested parties were provided notice and an opportunity to participate in the probate process. Another concern involves accounting and financial disclosure. A family member requested a complete accounting of the estate's assets, expenses, and distributions on multiple occasions, including through formal service upon the law office. According to our records, a full accounting was not provided in response to those requests. There were also concerns regarding communication. As the probate progressed, communication became more limited. Requests for information and clarification were not consistently addressed, and responses were not always provided in a timely manner. In one instance, a named heir who asked questions was informed by Terry Loa that she was not a party to the case. When Rebecca Sem was contacted directly, a similar response was received. Concerns were also raised regarding the handling of vulnerable individuals. Family members informed both the executor and the attorneys that the decedent's son had lifelong cognitive impairments and later experienced a stroke affecting his decision-making capacity. Based on our observations, no formal evaluation or action addressing these concerns was evident during the administration of the estate. Privacy issues were another area of concern. Despite notification that a granddaughter had a no-contact order involving her father, probate documents continued to include her address in filings and correspondence. Questions also arose regarding the distribution of estate property. The distribution of certain items, including antiques, jewelry, and a vehicle, differed from what some family members understood to be the intended allocations under the will. Those distributions did not align with the decedent's intent based on available information. When Atty Sems was asked directly what had happened to a great-great grandmother's rocker and other assets, the response was that the son was given the option and any remaining items were disposed of. Overall, based on our review of the probate record and our experience, there were concerns regarding communication, notice, accounting, and the administration of the estate. Probate attorneys and executors have responsibilities that include providing notice, maintaining transparency, and administering the estate in accordance with applicable law and the decedent's wishes. This review reflects my family's experience and our understanding of the probate record. Individuals considering this firm for estate administration may wish to review court filings, inquire about attorney fees and executor compensation, and seek clarification regarding notice requirements and accounting procedures. This law office failed in our opinion to follow legalities and allowed an exector, the law firm and her spouse (who had no family relations) to profit from a families traumatic event.

I am extremely disappointed by the way I was treated when I called your office seeking guidance…read more I contacted your office because I'm seeking the court to order my husband to pay my attorney's fees, and I was simply trying to understand the steps. I wanted to know how I go about obtaining an attorney and whether your office could explain the process or point me in the right direction. Instead of receiving guidance, I was met with an attitude that made me feel like I was inconveniencing the woman who answered the phone. The conversation felt dismissive, and rather than helping someone who was genuinely trying to understand an unfamiliar legal process, I was left feeling discouraged and unsupported. People seeking legal assistance are often already dealing with stressful and overwhelming situations. A little patience, professionalism, and compassion can make a tremendous difference. I'm sharing this experience because I hope it encourages better customer service for others who may be reaching out during one of the most difficult times in their lives. No one should feel belittled or brushed aside for asking questions they genuinely don't know the answers to.
